Smokin' Tuna FREE After Party
With Will Kimbrough
🎶 Last Call – After Party at Smokin' Tuna
📅 Monday, September 7, 2026
⏰ 8:30 PM – 10:30 PM
📍 Smokin' Tuna Saloon · 313 Duval Street, Key West
💲 Free Admission
When the final notes fade from Sunset Pier, the weekend isn't quite over yet.
Join friends old and new for one last gathering as Just a Few Friends wraps up another unforgettable year in Key West. Following Cayman Smith-Martin & the Mango Men at Sunset Pier, the celebration moves to the all-new Smokin' Tuna Saloon for a special late-night performance featuring acclaimed songwriter and musician Will Kimbrough.
This event marks one of the first major performances—and quite possibly the first festival performance—in Smokin' Tuna's highly anticipated new home in the former Hard Rock Café location on Duval Street. Fans have waited years for the return of this beloved Key West music venue, and the new space offers something many visitors have never seen: a dedicated concert venue tucked behind the restaurant that is poised to become one of the island's premier live music destinations.
There's something fitting about ending the weekend here. A new chapter for one of Key West's favorite music venues. One final performance from one of the weekend's most celebrated artists. One last chance to raise a glass, share a story, exchange hugs, and start talking about next year.
No cover. Just friends, music, and one final night in paradise.
Watch Will Kimbrough's moving performance of Bubbles Up from Sunset Pier during Just a Few Friends 2025. Fair warning: you may want a tissue nearby.
